Concrete Moisture Meter The Model B concrete moisture meter design is based on more than 40 years of experience in the field of moisture testing. The instrument was specifically designed for the concrete block industry under the guidance of C.M. Rollins, Director of Research, Basalt Rock Company. Mr. Rollins used the Model B in conjunction with the ASTM Method C-140 to establish calibrations for over 34 different kinds of concrete block which were procured from more than 18 manufacturers throughout the United States. Option 115 VAC for North America, South America, Japan Option 220 VAC for Australia, Europe and most of Asia Choosing the best concrete moisture meter Not catching the moisture content of concrete early on can cause several problems later when they are much harder to solve. Besides discoloration such as calcium deposits, moisture in concrete can cause delamination. These issues, along with concrete block shrinkage, causes costly re-works that could have been prevented with a concrete moisture meter. Many concrete floor coverings require the concrete to be properly dried prior to the addition of the coverings. Covering materials are sensitive to moisture content. Vinyl composites, carpets with rubber backing, wood and linoleum laminates, etc., require a dry slab prior to their installation. Since time is usually of the essence when wishing to apply the coverings, the slab must be cured properly to avoid problems such as adhesive delamination. Spray applied curing compounds can potentially contaminate the slab surface and would adversely affect the adhesive properties.
